1440p 60hz ips vs 1080p 144hz g-sync TN?

I only play video games. My budget only allows for either these two types. And yes, my Nvidia GPU can manage 100+ fps on 1080p and/or 1440p at 50-65 fps. I mostly play shooters.

Hello,

60 to 144 Hz is night and day. 1080p to 1440p is not night and day, though it's very noticeable. The difference between TN and IPS is also night and day, but you really shouldn't give up refresh rate for resolution or panel type, as refresh rate is going to make a pretty big difference to how smooth your games will look, get the TN, especially if you'll be focusing more on shooters.



All the best!

For gaming, FPS especially, higher refresh rate and lower response time are king, though a 1440p looks amazing you would be sacrificing way to much.

Also, because DSR exist, so you can still avail of a lot of the 1440p goodies (textures etc) in games if you have the FPS to spare if you decide to use 1080p instead.

1080p also have another advantage is that your lowest 'playable resolution' (IE, the resolution where there wouldn't be any blur) is lower, so if you decided that a game is too demanding at 1440p, you can drop to 1080p and still have relatively sharp images. Going the other way round induces unfixable blur.

There is also blurring if you DSR from 1080p to 1440p, but that can be largely fixed with a little DSR smoothing, but there is no known solution to the blur caused by going from 1440p to 1080p.

144hz with G-Sync or FreeSync is, IMHO, one of the very spoiling purchases, as now I may not be able to tolerate anything without them lol.

I'd go with 1440p. 144hz isn't going to make you any better at any games (at all), and actually makes no difference if you have enough horsepower to max it and use v-sync anyway.

G-sync is also a proprietary technology that's going to be invalid soon because Intel is supporting freesync now.

144hz with vsync decreases input latency and increases reaction time so actually 144hz in fps games can mean all the difference.
